But I see that Nebraska, which hosts UW at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, got off to a rough start in league play Wednesday night.

The Cornhuskers (9-5, 0-1) suffered a 70-44 loss at Ohio State, lost center Andre Almeida (ankle) for at least one game and first-year coach Tim Miles was peeved because his team didn’t compete hard enough.

“I can handle a losing outcome,: Miles told reporters after the 26-point loss. “I can. But it’s the way you go about your business and I was disappointed in the way we got outhustled. We can’t accept that.”

Asked about hosting UW, Miles said:

“I think it’s a winnable game. I think we can go out and do enough things to put ourselves in position to win.”
